Overview
|
||
|
|
********
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The eSPI (enhanced serial peripheral interface) is a serial bus that is
|
||
|
|
based on SPI. It also features a four-wire interface (receive, transmit, clock
|
||
|
|
and slave select) and three configurations: single IO, dual IO and quad IO.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The technical advancements include lower voltage signal levels (1.8V vs. 3.3V),
|
||
|
|
lower pin count, and the frequency is twice as fast (66MHz vs. 33MHz)
|
||
|
|
Because of its enhancements, the eSPI is used to replace the LPC
|
||
|
|
(lower pin count) interface, SPI, SMBus and sideband signals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See `eSPI interface specification`_ for additional details.
